Legal Notice of Consent Order for Parents of Students with Disabilities

The Individuals with Disabilities Education and Improvement Act

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a federal law that assures children and youth with disabilities a free appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. Loveland School District provides a continuum of special education programs and services for students with disabilities.

IEPs

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is developed for all students who qualify for special education. The IEP contains the student’s present levels of performance, goals and objectives, assessment procedures, services, modifications, and placement in the least restrictive environment. The IEP is reviewed at least annually or upon request of the parent or school staff. The IEP is reviewed and revised yearly. In Loveland Schools, Annual Reviews are conducted throughout the year based on the first letter of the student’s last name. An IEP progress report is sent home each quarter to parents. Beginning in middle school, students are encouraged to become active participants in the IEP process.
